The crisis of confidence between the governor and his former political benefactor and predecessor, as well as National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, started during the Edo State delegate congress of APC in 2018.

While the former governor, who had just resumed office as national chairman, used the opportunity to reward his loyalists and all those that worked for his emergence, Obaseki was not allowed to input his own loyalists.

The disagreement over the constitution of the Assembly and configuration of its leadership threw up the simmering disaffection between the political godfather and his political godson. With the 14 lawmakers-elect in limbo, Oshiomhole was forced to relocate them to Abuja, where they had remained for the past 11 months at his expense and members of the Edo Peoples Movement .

Signs that some mischief was afoot against Obaseki emerged last Wednesday when he went through screening exercise, during which he was asked whether his penchant for dragging the party to court does not translate to anti-party behaviour.
